A plan for farming practices to reach net zero when productivity and efficiency is “critical” shows a growing disconnect betwen the regions and government, leading dairy farmers say.

Gina Rinehart says the unchecked spread of vast wind and solar energy projects in regional Australia is having a heartbreaking impact on farmers and communities.

Australia’s richest person Gina Rinehart has unleashed on the pursuit of net zero emissions, declaring it will undermine everything from our defence force to our health system and ultimately represents a “cost Australia simply cannot bear”.

Gina Rinehart says it is heartbreaking that farmers are bearing the brunt of net zero ideology and already have enough to worry about without being tied to unrealistic Paris accord targets.

With the country in record debt, why isn’t our government thinking about the everyday Australians whose living standards will be destroyed by net zero? Gina Rinehart argues it’s time to truly consider the cost our nation simply cannot bear.
